If <util:InternetShortcut> doesn't work for you, one could try a CA for
refreshing the icons (I think I have seen the behavior you are describing with
advertised shortcuts).
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("Shell32.dll")]
private static extern int SHChangeNotify(int eventId, int flags, IntPtr item1,
IntPtr item2);
private const int SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED = 0x08000000;
SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, 0, NULL, NULL);

Hi David,
sounds great, thank you. I didn't even know about this way to handle shortcuts.
I'll give it a try and let you know if it helped.
Best regards,
Johannes

Have you not tried <util:InternetShortcut>, that's what we use in our setup
for url shortcuts, they use the default browser icon.

I have been trying to get the shortcut icons for non-exe files to work
as well but have been unsuccessful. Over the last 2 days no one on this
form either knows how to get this to work or are unwilling to help me
out. I actually have a licensed version InstallShield 2011 Professional
but am tired of paying $800 every year to get the latest version so I as
well am using Wix for my new project. So far all is good except for
these darn shortcut icons. If you figure it out I would really
appreciate finding out what you learned.
